Mountain High has best Thanksgiving weekend ever

| | Comments (0) |
More than 25,000 guests visited Mountain High from Nov. 22-28, making it the best Thanksgiving week in the resort's history.   The North Pole Tubing Park also opened this weekend making it its earliest opening ever. 

 

 "We're off to a great start this season.  The conditions have been incredible and, thanks to improvements in our snowmaking system, we're now able to open more trails faster than ever before," says Karl Kapuscinski, President and CEO. 

Mountain High opened this season on Nov. 11 the first resort to open in Southern California for the 14th straight year.  Non-stop snowmaking set the tone for the first weekend and the resort soon went from three trails to 10 offering terrain for all levels of skiers and snowboarders. 

Several days of warm weather slowed operations but a small storm and aggressive snowmaking just prior to Thanksgiving allowed the area to open the majority of its West Resort and accommodate the huge influx of holiday attendees.

Just like tickets, season passes have been selling quickly and the resort will sell out of its discounted $349 Anytime Pass on Dec. 1, 23 days sooner than last year.

 

Says Karl, "This early-season has been one of our best ever.  People seem to spending again and the weather has been perfect for snowmaking.  We look forward to it being a great year."
